It’s still in Beta, so I’d expect MyYahoo! to be better than MyGoogle. If MyGoogle was better in beta stage than MyYahoo is in production, Yahoo would be in serious trouble.

Aaron, I do agree… Google is now going to have to become better and better. it just would be interesting to see how things go in the near future for them, what content agreements they sign-up etc.

but seriously, i think this is an interesting development and will have a serious impact on google’s long term strategy. I am not sure what, but they are going to be a portal – any which way you slice it – and will have to work on what yahoo has already built.

It's (shocker) a portal! There. I said it. They are a portal. Just because they have a simple search as a front-end, doesn't mean they aren't a media company. Of course, they have lots of other stuff, and they have great tech - but why do so many people have trouble calling them a media company? And more importantly, why does Google has so much trouble admiting they are a media company?</p> Ok – Google wants to pretend to be a software company, but let’s be real – it’s a media company.
